Strong roots for flourishing futures

PE and Sport Funding

The government provides funding to improve physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. Each school is given the choice of how to spend their funding but it must ensure that it is spent on enabling children to play and enjoy sport regularly. This year the funding has been doubled.
